The Prince of Wales has praised British tailoring and craft skills for their contribution to "the classic and timeless look of British style".

He told GQ magazine: "I have long been an admirer of British tailoring and the associated trades ... Given the demands of my life, it is a great help if a suit looks as good at the end of a day as it did at the start; and it also has to withstand the heavy battering it can sometimes receive.

"So the challenge to tailors, shirt and shoe-makers is a tough one. Clothes have to combine style with sustainability and I find British-made tailoring more than meets that challenge."

Speaking to the Sun on Sunday Tory MP Mary MacLeod, a former policy adviser to the Queen, said:

Camilla has worked really hard since she married Charles. She has been beavering away quietly for charities behind the scenes and there is no doubt the public have warmed to her. Last year’s royal wedding only sought to emphasis the friendship between different generations. The royals seem more like a family and people relate to that and this poll shows they clearly want to keep that stability. Prince Charles has also been doing a lot of good work, particularly through the Prince’s Trust.

A new poll shows Prince Charles is now the nation’s first choice to be the King, with the country also ready to accept Queen Camilla. The Ipsos MORI poll for the Sun on Sunday also shows support for the monarchy at its highest level in decades.
